We stand with Victoria's Muslim community

In the aftermath of the violent racist attack at two mosques in Christchurch on Friday, as members of the Muslim community in New Zealand, Australia and further afield grieve the loss of 50 lives, we stand by Victoria’s Muslim community.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by this reprehensible act. Know that your loss and sorrow is keenly felt within the Victorian community. This is a time for unity and solidarity, a time to show our support, and to protect our most vulnerable.

We’ll continue to work closely with Victoria’s Muslim community and to advocate for an inclusive, respectful Victoria where all Victorians have a right to live their lives free from discrimination and vilification.

We encourage anyone who has experienced racism or vilification in Victoria to contact us on 1300 292 153 or via email enquiries@veohrc.vic.gov.au. You can also find more information about making a complaint on our website.
